If so, it's hard to tell what exact type of malware it is. It could be malware masquerading as a system process.

Have you noticed any suspicious activity on your computer recently?

Go ahead and download the Junkware Removal Tool and run a scan. A log file should pop up on your desktop called JRT.txt. Paste the contents into a post.

Download AdwCleaner. Right click it and select Run As Administrator. Click on "Scan", then once the scan is ready click on Clean. Click on OK to close programs and restart the computer. A text file will appear after the restart. Paste the contents into a post.

No, i was posting here just generally about what i found. Then someone directed me to the FRST tool and i figured yeah thats a good idea. Then i was reminded that another forum was used for those logs/problem. Sorry.

So, after you got me started with the scans, i ran a bunch. Nothing came up. I was about to just wipe and start fresh. I had disconnected the main machine from the router. Cleaned up other devices. When I reconnected the router for a quick check, something started calling out. I ran MBAM and it caught the fileless rootkit!

Now that your log is properly posted, you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised by a Malware Removal Team member, nor should you continue to ask for help elsewhere. Doing so can result in system changes which may not show it the log you already posted. Further, any modifications you make on your own may cause confusion for the helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer.From this point on the Malware Removal Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean.Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response because the Malware Removal Team members are very busy working logs posted before yours. They are volunteers who will help you out as soon as possible. Once you have made your post and are waiting, please DO NOT make another reply until it has been responded to by a member of the Malware Removal Team. Generally the staff checks the forum for postings that have 0 replies as this makes it easier for them to identify those who have not been helped. If you post another response there will be 1 reply. A team member, looking for a new log to work may assume another MRL Team member is already assisting you and not open the thread to respond.The current wait time is 1 - 5 days and ALL logs are answered.If HelpBot replies to your topic, PLEASE follow Step One so it will report your topic to the team members.To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic.

How do I get help? Who is helping me?For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear....Become a BleepingComputer fan: Facebook
